I just finished a Stephen King book that I wasn't too impressed with, but as I have received a heap of recommendations on older books his written I have added a few more to my TBR list. I feel I need to give him a proper go before ruling him out altogether.
'Easy Prey' is free on Amazon for another 2 days, if anyone wants to grab a copy.
Here is the other give away I'm running - Blood Rage. Again, good luck to all that enter and feel free to share with anyone who may be interested in winning a signed copy of this fantasy novel.
For those that are not aware, I am currently running some give aways. This one is for The Crimson Guild. Good luck to all who enter, and please feel free to share with anyone who might be interested.
Oh boy, there are so many interesting comments, in so many groups on here. How do you keep up with them all... I think my head is going to explode!
So excited and a little scared! I just released my new fantasy novella, 'The Crimson Guild'. I really hope everyone likes it. Otherwise I'll have to go hide in a broom-cupboard somewhere for a while...
